This is related to this thread on djay moving to single track analysis over multi track: Apple Music - Changed from Multiple Track Analysis to Single?
It’s closed now but I wanted to check if there’s some other way to do this or if there’s something I’m missing…
I haven’t used djay in a while as after Tidal removed the option to use neural mixing I didn’t use the app for a while, but today I signed up to Tidal again, paid their extra fee now they’ve added the neural mixing feature back in, and jumped on to TuneMyMusic to transfer my Spotify playlists to Tidal to use on djay (again, at a cost).
Once I booted up the latest version of djay (on iPad Pro) to start analysing my playlists, I saw how slow it was, compared to previously where the app could handle analysing multiple tracks at a time, whereas now it’s one by one, and it’s slower than ever.
Now, I understand that this might be something Tidal have enforced, but what’s bugging me is that when you re-analyse a playlist to check for new tracks, it starts the process all over again, and ignores tracks that have previously been analysed. For example earlier I started analysing a playlist for the BPMs, it analysed a few hundred then I cancelled it, and it did show the BPM on the tracks it analysed, but later on when I started it again, it started from the beginning.
I know this as the playlist I’m analysing has 3975 tracks (it’s a combination of all my other playlists so I can scroll everything in BPM order) and it started again on 1 of 3975, rather than 1 of 3700 or whatever, showing it’d already analysed some earlier on.
I’m fine leaving my big playlist to analyse overnight, but what I want to understand is, say I add a few tracks to any of my playlists (through TuneMyMusic auto-syncing daily between Spotify and Tidal), when I open djay to do some DJing, if I hit analyse playlist to find new tracks, it’s going to start the process all over again?
Is there a better solution? Before, all I had to do before I planned on DJing was jump into the playlists I think I’ll use, quickly analyse them and it’d pick up any new tracks that needed analysing, rather than analyse the whole playlist. I know I could sort the playlist by BPM, scroll down, see which tracks don’t show a BPM and analyse them individually, but I don’t DJ every day, so these tracks stack up over a week or so and doing this manually is a pain.
Any help appreciated, thank you!
